Comment on Kennedy in Rehab

[metisnation]

Before passing judgement think about all the depair this guy must of had in his life and he still ends up on his feet like a cat. The tragedy that this American family went through is beyond words.

1. Rehab is for quitters.

I kicked a 6 year heroin addiction (every day, all day) with no help because I wanted to.

And my family makes the Kennedys look like choirboys.

That said, I still feel for the guy and empathize with his situation.

2. So you're tougher than others who need help?

You rub it in and then say you feel for the guy? OK.

3. Yeah, it is all relative..

I was able to deal with my problem on my own.

More power to those who seek help elsewhere.

My take is, if you do not have it within yourself, you are looking for a crutch to help you stand.

I was always on my own.

4. If this was you or me, we'd be fired

I don't care what family PK is from. There has just got to be better talent in Rhodie Island for people to elect as their representative.

Most of us don't have a life with all the advantages PK inherited; we struggle to have a better life. Sorry, I just can't get up too much sympathy here. This guy keeps letting us down.

I cried for Jack and Bobby.
